The terms of this section will apply to all disputes that may arise out of, are connected with, or relate to this License Agreement or the Platform, subject only to the following exceptions: (1) if we reasonably believe that you have in any manner acted or failed to act in any manner that may cause harm to us or any third party, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any court of competent jurisdiction; or (2) any dispute may, at the option of the claiming party, be resolved in small claims court in Hunt, Texas, provided that all claims by all parties in the dispute (i) fall within the jurisdiction of the small claims court, and (ii) were unsuccessfully resolved through the informal resolution and arbitration procedures required below.
You agree that, except as provided below, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Platform, our Services, or this Agreement will be determined by binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. In the event we are unable to resolve any dispute through an informal dialogue, a third-party arbitrator or small claims court will help us resolve any disputes we might have, and any disputes will be resolved on an individual basis rather than as a class action.
In no event will the terms of this section limit our ability to investigate complaints or reported violations of this License Agreement, or to take any action we deem necessary and appropriate to mitigate actions against us, including reporting any suspected unlawful activity to law enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties.
Informal resolution

If we do not resolve the dispute through good faith negotiations under this informal process, you may pursue the dispute in accordance with the arbitration terms below.
Arbitration
Any claims by us, or claims by you that are not resolved by the informal resolution procedure described above, arising out of, relating to, or connected with this License Agreement, other than a claim by TaxOlt for injunctive or other equitable relief, shall be settled confidentially by a single arbitrator with arbitration conducted in Hunt, Texas (or via remote conferencing where appropriate and permitted to mitigate costs of travel) in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association or JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures. This License Agreement each of its parts evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) will apply in all cases and govern the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
In addition to and notwithstanding the terms stated above, the following will apply to your disputes: (1) the arbitration proceeding and results thereof will be kept confidential by each party; (2) the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this License Agreement including any claim that all or any part of this License Agreement is void or voidable; (3) the arbitrator will not have the power to conduct any form of class or collective arbitration, nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals; and (4) you hereby irrevocably waive any right you may have to a court trial (other than small claims court as provided above) or to serve as a representative, as a private attorney general, or in any other representative capacity, or to participate as a member of a class of claimants, in any lawsuit, arbitration, or other proceeding against us or related third parties arising out of, relating to, or connected with this License Agreement.

In the event such a provision cannot be modified and becomes invalidated or unenforceable, its invalidation or unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of these Terms of Service.
23. ENTIRE TERMS OF SERVICE
These Terms of Service, together with our License Agreement and Privacy Policy, as each may be amended from time to time, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, representations, understandings, or Terms of Services not specifically incorporated herein.
24. CHANGES IN TERMS AND CONDITIONS
